Tino is 3 months now and is doing well, only has a little separation anxiety with mommy when ever she leaves the room. But the bigger problem we are having is that he wont poo on the potty pad but he really has no problem pee on it. Tried to get a privacy potty thing for him but it was WAY TO BIG.

When I was pad training my pups and they pooped on the floor I would pick it up and put it on the pad then take the puppy to the pad all the time saying poo poo on the pad. They eventually got it, patience and consistency are key factors in pad training puppies.

He is just now the age he should be leaving mom and now ready to really learn before that he really probably didnít have a lot of control. You also could try putting his poo where you want him to go. If he has a favorite potty spot you could also put a pad there.

1. To get rid of separation anxiety, you could help him to build confidence and trust between you through lots of stimuli, such as petting, treats, and going outside
2. How do you introduce him to pee on the pads? Can you use the method again to lead him to poo? What's more, you could adopt the idea of matese (picking up the poo on the pads), as I also successfully taught my pup to poo on the pads by this way.
Good luck to you
